Rejoice: The Rumoured LaFerrari Spider Has Been Confirmed By Maranello’s Boss
The prospect of a LaFerrari Spider shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s been rumoured since 2014 after all, and it looked even more of a certainty when the car allegedly made a private debut earlier this year.
In the latest bit of news about the car, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne dropped in a mention for the incoming LaFerrari Spider when talking about the LaFerrarina (a rumoured but unconfirmed semi-skimmed LaFerrari) plus the difficulty of positioning a potential V6-powered Dino model with Automobile Mag:
“Let me ask you: Where should that Dino be positioned? How much should it cost? How would it relate to the next 488? What is the right balance between too many and not enough units? We haven’t found answers to these questions yet. And by the way, the only future product connected to LaFerrari is the Spider. Which is no secret since potential customers have already been approached.”
Mechanically it’s unlikely to change, so expect a 950bhp hybrid V12 powertrain, which should sound jolly lovely with less roof getting in the way…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

woot woot.

LaF owners will be pissed off
Suspect a fair few have been bought by LaF owners…
That’s some
Even though it’s not a dacia sandero
Now the P1 is the only one left to lose it’s top. Then again, where are they going to place that roof scoop?
They could put it so it doesn’t connect to the roof but hovers above it like the zonda cinque roadster
Mclaren probably will not make a spyder, since the roof of the p1 is extremely strong and a huge part of the rigidety. The racing-version didn’t even need a rollcage.
This is why a LaFerrari with a roof is better.
Some ford gt action
you’d still be able to do that with the spider, probably….
Yay rejoice! Now I can finally consider buying one..
even having the money to buy it, still wont be able to get it cz of damn restrictions lol
Even if you had the money to buy it, Ferrari wouldn’t allow you to :p
Some LaFerrari owners claimed they received a key in the mail inviting them to spec and buy the car… So even if you win a fat lottery check tomorrow, if you didn’t get that invitation there’s no LaFerrari Spider for you :p
And I bet they’ll only build like 50
Helllll yeaaaaaaaa
